need to replace the suspension on my camry....can anyone suggest a good set of shocks

i have a 2000 camry le v6

its at 90k miles and i'm thinking of replacing the suspension to lower it (1-1.5") and to replace the stock suspension which is starting to wear out a bit...


what do you guys recommend?

i've read alot about the eibach pro kit (which has a nice drop) paired with the tokico blue shocks...

has anyone use this combo...if so how well does it work...

my goal to lower thecar a little bit to make it look better and i'm thinking of getting some 17" wheels

and thats it...

has anyone had any better luck with something different.

thanks again guys!

btw if anyone is selling a set of wheels and shocks i maybe interested

First off, Welcome to TN since your a noob and this is your first post I'll let you slide but in the future please use the search button located at the top of the page to the right underneath the ad banner.

Tokicos are your best bet, unless your really really cheap dont waste your time with KYB

get Tokico strut with either Eibach or H&R lower springs (whichever is cheaper).. I had Eibach before and am using H&R right now, I couldn't feel a difference.. both are good. I have a 2001 Camry V6..

i think i may go with the h&r's because i think they provide a 1.6" drop as compared to the eibach prokit which provides a 1.2 inch drop..

can anyone suggest me a good place to get a set of the tokico shocks at a good price...i found some at 105 each...

i'm not sure if thats good or not.

thanks in advance for all your help!
